hello folks. i can not get this to work , at all. i tried 2 different keyboards and checked the midi note number. tried different midi channels and so on.

my intention was to have an input like for example guitar. and then i want to have 8 white keys from the midi keyboard to start and stop the loops. so i set the midi input to all midi inputs all channels, and send it to super 8. but it does not respond. i am probably doing something wrong.

well. i didnt solve it. but i watched the video at 13.00 he explains using the virtual midi keyboard to trigger the loops. but its not entirely clear to me what he is doing. he make another track for midi informations, and sends this to the super 8 track then he makes a send from the super 8 to the midi track? unfortunately i cant get it working.

and when i use reacontrol midi on both tracks, and see if the notes are registered nothing shows up in the midi activity log.

i see red flashing indicating midi activity in track one, but no activity or note number in the log. when using a vst synth everything works as expected, exept that i get nothing in the midi log

Track 1 needs to have both the Record Arm Button and Input Monitoring enabled. Otherwise it won't register any MIDI Input (from external controllers or Reaper's Virtual MIDI Keyboard).
Are those two buttons enabled in this case?

In general, you can also check Recording and Input Monitoring settings by doing a right-click on the Track Record Button.

If this doesn't solve the problem, maybe you can attach just the .RPP Project File (you don't need to include any audio files) to a post. So I can take a closer look at it and check if there are any settings missing in your project: https://forum.cockos.com/showthread.php?t=140670

thank you! that was the problem. i forgot to monitor input. i feel stupid now. but at least problem is solved. thanks alot

OK, great

And don't worry about it. Other forum members (including myself) have also overlooked certain settings at some point. These things can happen to anybody.
The more important thing is to remember it for the next time

yeah, thanks. i will save the project so i can look it over later. i try to spend time to solve stuff myself before i come posting , but this one was really annoying, and the answer so simple. thanks again
